Hi Jackie,There seems to be a lot of confusion on this topic and hopefully I can offer this information.Sulfates are used in shampoo as the cleansing agent.There are many different types. If a sulfate is sodium based such as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate,and Sodium Laureth Sulfate, which by the way are synthetic, a sodium thickener is used such as "SODIUM CHLORIDE" If the cleansing agent is Ammonium based such as Ammonium Laureth Sulfate, the thickner will be "ammonium chloride"

SODIUM CHLORIDE is used as a thickener. There is no other reason it is in the shampoo AND it is an inexpensive thickener. Your higher quality professional products will use other ingredients to thicken the shampoo.

I would suggest that you use a sulfate free/ Paraben free/ Sodium Chloride free shampoo.
